Squirting — Is it real?

Anonymous Question:

Hi Dr. Charley, Is there really such a thing as female ejaculation? A couple of friends have said it has happened to them and how much better it is than just cumming. I don’t think I could cum any harder! and if that happened to me, I would be afraid I had just peed on myself!

Hi there,

Thanks for the question.

Yes, there is such a thing as Female Ejaculation often referred to as “squirting”. Not all women experience it and even those that do, do not experience it all the time. Additionally, some women enjoy the sensation and others don’t.

Female ejaculation often occurs due to a simulation of the G-spot. You might experience the brief sensation of needing to urinate however the ejaculate that the body produces is not urine. The ejaculate can range from a tablespoon of fluid to a ¼ cup. It varies.

Female ejaculation can occur during certain sexual positions, thus again, making it random.

It can be a little embarrassing the first time it happens. Talk with your part about it. If it happens often, keep a few extra towels or linen handy. Urinating before intercourse can help alleviate your anxiety and ensure that your bladder is empty.

Two great resources for information on this topic are:

The G Spot: And Other Discoveries about Human Sexuality by Alice Khan Ladas, Beverly Whipple, and John D. Perry; and my book The W.I.S.E. Journal for the Sensual Woman which is gear to provide you with the insight and comfort you need with your own body.

I’ve also selected a few other books below which might help you on your journey to discovering this erotic experience.
